ASU students to help create 'sustainability park'

The town of Clarkdale, Ariz., is benefitting from the work of students participating in the Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) program in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University.

The program enables students to use the basic engineering skills they’re learning in the classroom to help bring community improvement endeavors to fruition.

EPICS teams are working with town officials to develop Clarkdale Sustainability Park. Among initial plans for the park are a wetlands recharge project and a project to convert waste to energy.
